After a lifetime of carts, that is where I'm going with Switch. I can loan the single player things out to friends as I finish them, but all of the stuff i actively play from time to time will just reside on memory. Was at my brother's a few weeks ago and we were just hopping between games every few rounds and it was really convenient.

I made the rookie mistake of getting Mario kart on kart (ha), but I'm getting splatoon digitally. And I already downloaded arms.

lol, there's a lot of spill over like M2K still playing Smash 4 and there was recently a Smash 4 player two sexually assaulted someone else in her bed while she was sleeping next to her boyfriend. The Smash 4 community hasn't had time to flourish into the gigantic turd that the Melee scene has, give it time.

That dude got kicked from the community and now competes in Mexico (where he's from)

The FGC isn't that much better with people like Noel Brown who beat the poo poo out of girlfriend and I think he did it twice, he also got into a fist fight on stream with someone else. I'm sure there's more people like that but he's all I can recall right now.

Then again professional sports players aren't that much better, lol

No exports competitor has killed anyone yet you my knowledge


But yeah I don't think "here's a list of people who have committed crimes and also played videogames" is really a reflection on the community, unless their crimes were actively covered up by people in the community

I'm going to keep the thread updated on all instances of harassment and skullduggery related to Smash for Switch. I just put it a Google alert, so the second someone gropes someone while playing this as of yet unannounced game, you'll know it. Unless it happens at Treehouse or Mario Club in localization and testing, as they handle these kinds of accidents through HR and arbitration most likely, and details would be unlikely to become public.

Thank you for your service

Sounds like the broken controllers are just "experts" capitalizing on an exploit to give them an advantage over normies, however small.

If you need a very specific controller to play the game, you are basically cheating. This is no different than using a turbo button to win a mashing contest. These controllers are allowed in tournament play?

Don't worry it's not something the average player could pull off even if they had the appropriate controller. It's definitely not a turbo controller level advantage like you're thinking

How would you say it compares to Mega Man X? That seems to be the sweet spot in the series for me.

It's not as good as mega man x but few games are. It does have that games speed (if you play as beck, he can do an air dash), though not at first. Make sure you do the propeller stage first and unlock the aerial option power up. It should honestly be available from the start, but much like the dash boots in X being locked in chill penguin's stage, it's a small issue I'm willing to overlook.

If you like mega man x I think you'll like this game, it's probably the game mighty number 9 should've been from the start

Yeah it's odd because there are certain bosses that you can't dodge without it (Brandish, the sword guy who is definitely NOT zero), but you could theoretically go through 7 stages before unlocking it.

I believe you need 4 for this mode right now but in that final version you can queue up with just 2 during a splat fest

I'm really bad at Mega Man games because the Wii was basically my first Nintendo system so I never played any MM when I was growing up. Would it be worth me checking out Mighty Gunvolt Burst?

Yes. It's tough but incredibly easy to beat if you need help (it gives you the ability to lower damage taken, knockback taken, not die instantly from spikes, etc) thanks to the mod buster mechanic

I regret paying full price for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. That's on PC, but still, while we're airing regrets :v:
It's fun and I enjoy it, but it's like $30 fun, not $60 + Season Pass fun.

Uh, so keep that in mind when the Switch version gets a release date. It's not a *bad* game, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a good game, either. The fun of making your own Original Character (Do Not Steal), with customizable moves and clothes, and getting time-travel inserted into major battles from DBZ history (with some twists), is offset by some pretty baffling design decisions and finicky controls. Some of the what-if type scenarios are pretty cute, though. Captain Ginyu's body-swapping power gets some good use for those.

Good news! It's only 40 bucks on the switch

I don't understand why XCX just didn't use the same battle system as Xenoblade.
XB's battles were fun due to its assigning specific roles to characters, like attacker, tank, debuffer, and healer.
XCX was just buttonmashing.

And the town's "Uh-huh" music just ruined me.

The uhh huh was the best part, what the hell

I don't like the character design at all but I kinda like the Pokemon mechanic of collecting party members. And the guy from the first game is doing the music again (I really liked the music from the second game but it doesn't hold a candle to the first xenoblade), so ill probably pick it up unless it's truly awful
